Hi, just wondering if you managed to get any further than this?
I have the same issue when i stop and manually start the webServer it stops at the same step above, hence i cannot connect with the web browser and get any further.

I have also tried to use the Adeept Android Remote app to see if i can login with that, but the app crashes immediately after starting and i can't find an app for IOS (iPad) so no clues there either!

OK, so i managed to past this issue (if anyone else is stuck here)
For me it was caused by the camera module not working (i had the securing screws for the camera tightened too much and suspect that stressed the camera PCB preventing it from working) the way i proved the camera wasn't working was to try taking a picture using the terminal using the command "raspistill -o image.jpg" which came up with an error saying the camera couldn't be detected. on loosening the camera screws i also noticed an LED on the camera PCB which also wasn't there before!
Hope that helps someone else with this issue!
